About Wolt
At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we’re building the delivery of (almost) everything and you’ll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.
Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting. Here you’ll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You’ll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.
Wolt is part of DoorDash, and together we run one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe. We’re looking for a VAT Manager to join us as an in-house advisor on VAT matters across the business. You’ll work closely with Finance, Legal, Business and Product teams, translating VAT rules into clear, practical guidance for the wider organisation.
What you’ll be doing
This role is primarily advisory: you’ll be the go-to person for VAT questions across the business, working on several projects in parallel rather than owning a single recurring process. You’ll partner with teams across multiple functions to make sure VAT is considered early and handled correctly.
Day-to-day in this role you’ll:
- Provide VAT advisory support to multiple teams and projects across the business
- Review new products and features for their VAT treatment and implications
- Review contracts from a VAT perspective, flagging risks and suggesting language
- Identify, assess and manage VAT risks
- Support in VAT audits, coordinating with tax authorities and internal stakeholders
- Support specific reporting obligations, such as CESOP, as an SME
Our humble expectations
We think you’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy variety, can manage several projects at once, and are comfortable explaining VAT concepts to non-tax colleagues.You are willing to take ownership and work well in an autonomous environment.
- Solid experience in VAT, including advisory work
- Experience with tax audits
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate VAT rules into practical, non-technical guidance
- A background in financial services VAT and experience with CESOP reporting is a nice-to-have, but not essential
What’s in it for you
You’ll join a small, senior tax team with real ownership over VAT matters across Wolt’s markets. Expect varied, hands-on work as the business expands into new products and geographies, plus the chance to shape how VAT advisory is done at Wolt.
